Basically anything goes. It’s good to get them to sleep so maybe get your kid up early. Lots of screen time. We walk up and down the plane saying hello to people. Lots of snacks.
Some kids are really good on planes and just settle down. Just think about the popping ears on the way up and make sure their nose is clear.
I've never flown with a little one before, but even just flying for myself - having something to suck on to help with rebalancing ear pressure is surely a must.
Thanks, that's really helpful. Good tip especially on the clear nose thing -- that's not something they can easily communicate to us so we'll have to be actively checking that. Hopefully our kid will be one of the calm ones!
